Answer:
The correct answer is Jennifer is running in a track meet.
Explanation:
We call present participle those words ending in ing. In this case <em>Jennifer is </em><em>running </em><em>in a track meet</em>. It can be used as an adjective or as a verb, and this is what <u>differentiates it from the gerund</u>.
Used as adjective: Jennifer is <em>boring
</em>
As a verb: Jennifer is<em> running.
</em>
The present participle if used both as a verb or as an adjective, will always be accompanied by another verb ---- <em>is</em> boring ----- <em>is</em> running.
Given this information, we can verify that the correct answer is<em> Jennifer is running in a track meet.</em>
